      Note: The entire animal consists of a single cell which is
               variously modified; but in many species a number of
               these simple zooids are united together so as to form a
               compound body or organism, as in the Foraminifera and
               Vorticell[91]. The reproduction takes place by fission,
               or by the breaking up of the contents of the body after
               encystment, each portion becoming a distinct animal, or
               in other ways, but never by true eggs. The principal
               divisions are Rhizopoda, Gregarin[91], and Infusoria.

   d8Vertebra \[d8]Ver"te*bra\, n.; pl. {Vertebr[91]}. [L.
      vertebra, fr. vertere to turn, change. See {Verse}.]
      1. (Anat.) One of the serial segments of the spinal column.
  
      Note: In many fishes the vertebr[91] are simple cartilaginous
               disks or short cylinders, but in the higher vertebrates
               they are composed of many parts, and the vertebr[91] in
               different portions of the same column vary very
               greatly. A well-developed vertebra usually consists of
               a more or less cylindrical and solid body, or centrum,
               which is surmounted dorsally by an arch, leaving an
               opening which forms a part of the canal containing the
               spinal cord. From this dorsal, or neural, arch spring
               various processes, or apophyses, which have received
               special names: a dorsal, or neural, spine, spinous
               process, or neurapophysis, on the middle of the arch;
               two anterior and two posterior articular processes, or
               zygapophyses; and one or two transverse processes on
               each side. In those vertebr[91] which bear
               well-developed ribs, a tubercle near the end of the rib
               articulates at a tubercular facet on the transverse
               process (diapophysis), while the end, or head, of the
               rib articulates at a more ventral capitular facet which
               is sometimes developed into a second, or ventral,
               transverse process (parapophysis). In vertebrates with
               well-developed hind limbs, the spinal column is divided
               into five regions in each of which the vertebr[91] are
               specially designated: those vertebr[91] in front of, or
               anterior to, the first vertebra which bears ribs
               connected with the sternum are cervical; all those
               which bear ribs and are back of the cervicals are
               dorsal; the one or more directly supporting the pelvis
               are sacral and form the sacrum; those between the
               sacral and dorsal are lumbar; and all those back of the
               sacral are caudal, or coccygeal. In man there are seven
               cervical vertebr[91], twelve dorsal, five lumbar, five
               sacral, and usually four, but sometimes five and rarely
               three, coccygeal.
  
      2. (Zo[94]l.) One of the central ossicles in each joint of
            the arms of an ophiuran.

      cartilaginous vertebr[91], together with Amphioxus in which

      The Vertebrata always have a dorsal, or neural, cavity above
      the notochord or backbone, and a ventral, or visceral, cavity
      below it. The subdivisions or classes of Vertebrata are

   Tontine insurance \Ton*tine" in*su"rance\ (Life Insurance)
      Insurance in which the benefits of the insurance are
      distributed upon the tontine principle. Under the old, or
  
      {full tontine}, plan, all benefits were forfeited on lapsed
            policies, on the policies of those who died within the
            tontine period only the face of the policy was paid
            without any share of the surplus, and the survivor at the
            end of the tontine period received the entire surplus.
            This plan of tontine insurance has been replaced in the
            United States by the
  
      {semitontine} plan, in which the surplus is divided among the
            holders of policies in force at the termination of the
            tontine period, but the reverse for the paid-up value is
            paid on lapsed policies, and on the policies of those that
            have died the face is paid. Other modified forms are
            called {free tontine}, {deferred dividend}, etc.,
